Music and Lyrics
Forgotten Freshness Volume 4 contains two remixes by Mike E. Clark. Clark had a falling out with Insane Clown Posse in 2000, and during the time the two did not work together the group released two studio albums. After the two reconciled, Clark remixed one song from each album. "Homies" is a remix of the song by the same name from The Wraith: Shangri-La, and "C.P.K.'s" is a remix of the song by the same name from Hell's Pit.
The songs "The People," "Mad House," "Staaaaaaaaale!!!," "Wicked Rappers Delight," and "Swallow This Nut" were recorded specifically for Forgotten Freshness Volume 4. "Wicked Rappers Delight" is a horrorcore cover of The Sugarhill Gang song "Rapper's Delight". All of the skits from the album were outtakes from previous albums The Terror Wheel, Riddlebox, Tunnel of Love, The Wraith: Shangri-La, and Hell's Pit. "Nobody Move" was recorded in the back of a tour bus during the "Hell's Pit Tour" in 2004. The song is a cover of Eazy-E's song of the same name from his album Eazy-Duz-It.
"Intro" was originally intended to be the intro for Tunnel of Love. "Dear ICP" was recorded in 1993 and was supposed to be released on The Ringmaster. The songs "Feels So Right" and "Bodies Fly" were intended for Hell's Pit. "Panties" was originally intended for Shaggy 2 Dope's solo album F.T.F.O., but the album was delayed. The song was put on Forgotten Freshness Volume 4 as a sample of his album. "If You Can't Beat 'Em Join 'Em" was recorded in 1992 and intended to be released on The Terror Wheel. The beat was later used for the song "Skitsofrantic" from the same album. The song "Yours Begins Tonight" was intended for The Wraith: Shangri-La.

Famous quotes containing the words music and, music and/or lyrics:
“Good-by, my book! Like mortal eyes, imagined ones must close some day. Onegin from his knees will rise—but his creator strolls away. And yet the ear cannot right now part with the music and allow the tale to fade; the chords of fate itself continue to vibrate; and no obstruction for the sage exists where I have put The End: the shadows of my world extend beyond the skyline of the page, blue as tomorrow’s morning haze—nor does this terminate the phrase.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“For do but note a wild and wanton herd
Or race of youthful and unhandled colts
Fetching mad bounds, bellowing and neighing loud,
Which is the hot condition of their blood;
If they but hear perchance a trumpet sound,
Or any air of music touch their ears,
You shall perceive them make a mutual stand,
Their savage eyes turned to a modest gaze
By the sweet power of music.”
—William Shake{peare (1564–1616)
“Chad and I always look for deeper meanings; we can analyze Beastie Boys lyrics for hours.”
—Amy Stewart (b. 1975)
